I really love the steady beat and the vibe of this single, off their latest album, 7, out this past week. I'm not super familiar with them but have been digging the album!

Carb on Carb - Mitimiti

Oh my god I cannot stop listening to this album. I love the guitar tone, I love the nostalgia, I love how they've leant into emo with their very clear style and sound. This tune is the last on the album, and I've included two of the others in previous letters. The album is called For Ages and is out wherever you listen to music - I really recommend you go listen.

This tune actually came out back in April, but I missed it at the time so it's here! A gorgeous quiet ballad with a beautiful piano ensemble, it's so intimate and gentle.

Lafayette Hudson - Oh, Carol

A Christchurch local, a few people recommended this new album to me, it's a home recording that definitely has that kiwi home-recorded sound (I have banned myself from making Flying Nun comparisons in this tinyletter)

This is another album I will not stop listening to. I'd been quietly excited for its release - this single dropped on Wednesday ahead of the album on Friday, and god, her writing, lyrics, the keys and how she keeps her voice quite casual/with the accent still clear just really cuts right to me.
